title: 2-Amino-4,6-di-methyl-pyrimidine-sorbic acid (1/1).
abstract: In the crystal of the title compound, C6H9N3·C6H8O2, the 2-amino-4,6-di-methyl-pyrimidine and sorbic acid mol-ecules are linked through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which generate a cyclic bimolecular heterosynthon with an R 2 (2)(8) graph-set motif. Further, two inversion-related pyrimidine mol-ecules are base-paired via a pair of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a cyclic bimolecular homosynthon with a graph-set of R 2 (2)(8). A discrete hetero tetra-meric supra-molecular unit along the b axis is formed by the fusion of two heterosynthons and one homosynthon. An aromatic π-π inter-action [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7945 (16) Å] is observed between these tetra-meric units.
